Actually I was more interested in figuring out what they were trying to say there, since it seemed unclear to me. Though the subject of the paragraph is presidential blame, so you're correct to that extent.

Here's the timeline I now read from the paragraph:

Bush 1 - NK starts plutonium refining
Clinton - Clinton gets them to stop with the plutonium. NK secretly starts uranium research instead. No success (though there's no way to know how close they may have gotten).
Bush 2 - NK kicks out inspectors, switches back to plutonium, and has at least a partial success.
